Is there any chance that the Md Lottery can set up a program, when the last time a certain pick 3 or pick 4 number came out? I mean straight. It is very time consuming to got through almost 34 years of lottery numbers to find out when a certain pick 3 or pick 4 came out straight. Thank you…Bill McG

BillMcG: We are planning many improvements to the website. We’ll add this to the list of potential improvements.

pat w.

on set for life scratch off’s we were buying them reguraly but they ran out of them down here in deale & shadyside md. havent saw any in months
if they are not selling where you have them bring
some to our part of the county.

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

pat w.: The ticket is almost 2 years old and we have 16 newer $5 games so only bigger agents are carrying the game at this point. The retailers closest to the Deale area that have the ticket are to date are: Captain Kidd (Deale), Lothian Citgo, Lothian Service Center, and South River Liquors (Edgewater). Good luck.

I would like to know what are the odds of the same numbers coming out again when u play the mega million, powerball or multimatch like it does in the pick 3 and pick 4.

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

Sherrie: The odds are identical for every drawing and each drawing is completely random. The probability of duplicate numbers coming out for Mega, Powerball, or Multi-Match are awfully steep. Pick 3 and 4 numbers repeating is more common because there are only 3-4 winning numbers with a much smaller number of possible outcomes. The Jackpot games have more numbers, with a larger number of possible outcomes, which makes repeating a more rare occurance.

The digit sets on Pick 3 and Pick 4 run 0-9 for only 3-4 winning numbers. The Mega, Power and Multi games all have number combinations that run (in the case of Powerball)1-59, for up to 6 winning numbers. Plus a Bonus ball (again in the case of Powerball) that could be any number running 1-39.

I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY AREN’T THE 2nd chance lottery drawing done
PUBLICLY? SO EVERYONE CAN SEE
I’m sure the Lottery Commission can afford the few minutes of air time to do this.
WHY BEHIND CLOSED DOORS, JUST DOES NOT SEEM SO FAIR OR HONEST!!

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

vaughn: Ultimately the reasoning is because the process can often be a 2-3 hour ordeal and is not as glamorous as a televised drawing. The 75,000+ entries for Medal Madness were packed into rubbermaid totes. They all were dumped into a drawing drum and the winners were selected from there. In addition, our Lottery facilities are not built to accommodate a viewing audience and requiring the Lottery to do these drawings at an off site location would require permits, manpower and several rented trucks, which all take time and money. As for televising the drawings, we simply cannot afford to purchase the airtime. All drawings adhere to strict procedures and guidelines. They are videotaped and witnessed by numerous representatives, including an independent Auditor and Security Official to keep the integrity of the game in tact.

jim p.

I couneted all the winners from baltimore 28 to be exact. no other place came close. It is imposible to buy a winning any thing south of annapolis,edgewater,mayo,beverley beach,
galesville,westriver,deale,churchton,or shadyside md. I don’t think you people bring any winning tickets down here to sell ! my opinion.

I had all three medals mail them in on February around the first or second week , so how do you determine who’s a winner exspecially when you had all three medals ? This is my first time I e-mail you about this, so please give me some kind of response other than you heard it already

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

Wanda: We stopped issuing Medal Madness tickets on February 28. Players had until Friday, March 5 to mail in their medal collections. The winners were determined through a random drawing that took place on Monday, March 8. The first player drawn received the grand prize of $250,000. The second player received $50,000 and the third received $25,000. The final 100 player drawn received $1,000.

http://Marylandlottery florette T

Do more people play the mid-day or night time three and four digit number?

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

Florette T: Evening drawings for the Pick 3 and Pick 4 tend to be the most popular. There are many possible reasons for this. Here are a few:Evening drawings have been around longer, so when mid-days were introduced, some players chose to stick with their favorite time. Also, players tend to like being able to see the results, and many people work during the mid-day draw. If more players can view the actual drawings of the Pick 3 and Pick 4 in the evening, that may influence the number of evening players.

So, it seems the lottery has a lot of winners from the Baltimore area. Well that should be expected please take note there is a lottery machine in every liquor, 7-11, Royal Farm, convience, lets do mention SuperFresh, Food King, SafeWay, oh heck every major chain food store has a machine! Which puts lottery machines #1 in populous than anything else in this city. Beating out churches and schools and locations to buy MTA transit tickets too!

I THINK THE REAL QUESTION SHOULD BE HOW MANY BIG TICKETS WINNERS ARE THERE FROM BALTIMORE!!! AND WITH ALL THAT SELLING GOING ON – HOW OFTEN????

vaughn

When will the drawings for Cinema Cash 2nd Chance Contest begin? Or has it already started?
When is the deadline date for entries? Please reply soon so I don’t waste stamps!!!
Thanks!

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

vaughn: The Cinema Cash 2nd chance drawing date has not been announced. Stay tuned to Snapshots, as we will announce the drawing here when the time comes.

TIMOTHY

I AM WITH A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE,, I THINK IT IS A HOAX,, TO MAIL TICKETS IN ..I THINK THE NAMES, & LOCATION OF WHERE THERE FROM ARE ALL FAKE,, THEY DO THAT TO GET YOU TO BUY MORE TICKETS………… I HAVE ALSO PLAYED FOR A LONG TIME AND NEVER WON ANYTHING BIG,,ITS JUST ENTERTAINMENT,,,,,

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

Timothy: All of our winners, large and small amounts, are real people. The odds are identical for every game and each drawing is completely random. The geographic locations of our winners are also random. There is no way to predict where the winners will be. Check out our latest entry including a video snapshot of a winner just last month. You can also search through many winners since the inception of the blog in December within our winners category here.

I am so convinced that the state has programmed the Keno system to select numbers just before the start of each game to control the payout. This is done so the least amount of payout will occur for each game.
You cannot convince me that the numbers are “just randomily selected”.

http://marylandlottery.wordpress.com Maryland Lottery

Dempsey: The systems are independent from each other. Keno winning numbers are selected from an independent random number generator. This has no connection to sales nor the possibility or odds of winning.

http://InternetExplorer Trecie Cook

Sorry to hear so many disappointed people from around the state who think all the winners are in or around Baltimore. Unfortunately, I have never been a winner and have been playing since the lottery’s inception. I am a native of Baltimore and have decided that I have paid more than enough into this “entertainment” that has long stopped being entertaining. No more fore me!

Harold G. Gordon

Please be relieved that this is my last email. The three Medal Madness tickets I submitted had the following numbers on the front of each purchased ticket. The Gold ticket #88190073691648-78, the Silver ticket #87920125544448-02, the Bronze ticket #88020142561664-96. Thank You.

I agree with everyone who noticed that the bulk of winners for these mail in games are always in the Baltimore area. I have been watching the locations for the past couple of years. I know there are very large amounts of people in PG county who play almost daily. Where can I find the data that shows proof of who plays in each area? Where are the deomgraphics that can validate the statement you made.
